Syslinux - Jun 2003 - Remapping Serial Keyboard Input with SYSLINUX

I have a system with a Matrix Orbital keypad (only) on ttyS0 which 
generates it own strange bytes when keys are pressed. Is there something 
similar to the KBDMAP directive but for serial input?

This is a serious problem for us (i.e. we have to remap the 'L' 
character to be interpreted the same as an "Enter" (i.e. <cr>))
and so
if there isn't a way of doing this currently please point me in the 
right direction so I can modify syslinux to do it

thanks

I've now spent more time looking in the comio.inc and see how the KBDMAP 
is implemented and how one could extend it to serial keyboard mapping. 
Before I launch on this project I should like to solicit some design 
guidance from the syslinux community.

Here are the three obvious ways of supporting keyboard mapping:

1 - The KBDMAP applies equally to both keyboard and serial input 
(currently it only applies to keyboard input)
2 - There is one KBDMAP and the user (in the config file) can specify it 
applies to the keyboard only, serial input only, or both.
3 - There are two maps (say, KBDMAP and SERIALMAP) at the cost of 
another 256 bytes of memory + some code

What is your preference? What does the Master (hpa) think?

Have guidance, will code...
